Libertarians aren't exactly know for being very honest... Or smart... Or reading the whole page when someone lays out policy positions.

Honestly, the No True Scotsman fallacy should be renamed the No True Libertarian. Ask one hundred libertarians what a libertarian is, and you'll get two thousand different answers. So it's no shock this guy "isn't a real libertarian".

Depending on who you ask, it also means "I'm a Republican who has no issues with drugs and minors".

There is nothing funnier than observe libertarians arguing over some small difference and quickly arriving at the point when they call eachother "socialist".

Libertarianism has to become something on contact with reality

They're the same picture.
